[ERC] Rally Vinho Madeira 2011

[Jarek Z]

End of leg 1. Magalhaes leads in front of Sa (+1:29) and Rossetti (+2:08).

Unfortunately on the last stages Oleksowicz significantly slowed down. He dropped down from 6th (after SS5) to 8th (after SS11). I don't know if something is wrong with the car or the driver.

8 stages tomorrow!

Unfortunately on the last stages Oleksowicz significantly slowed down. He dropped down from 6th (after SS5) to 8th (after SS11). I don't know if something is wrong with the car or the driver.

OK, I know now what happened. Oleksowicz explained in his press release, that he decided to take the risk and try softer tyres on the third loop. It turned out to be a bad choice. But anyway he says he loves the atmosphere of the rally. There are so many spectators that it looks like the whole island is celebrating this rally!

Yes Jarek... "everybody" in the island go to see the rally on the stages... there are a lot of people that didn't worked today due to Rally Vinho Madeira...

Seeing some pictures looks like this year there is less spectators than usual. Yesterday at super special stage at Funchal was notorius less people but the number of spectators is always higher than in other portuguese events.

I hope Sà's engine won't suffer more problems today

SS13 The surface is wet in the last 4 km of the stage. Bruno lost some time because he is not taking so much risks!! No problem with him...
